SEVEN THINGS GOD HATES- #6: A FALSE WITNESS

THE PILTDOWN MAN

These six things the Lord hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: 
A proud look,
A lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil, 
A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren
Proverbs 6:18-19 
Can God be any clearer? He put the following in the 9th Commandment in Exodus 20:16 "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor", then He emphasizes that Law in the list of Seven Things He hates! 

Why is this? Well, because God is Truth, period. It is written "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life". It is also written "the Father is looking for worshippers....who will worship in SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH"! Then twice in three chapters, the Lord Jesus mentioned the Spirit of God - Holy Spirit - and called Him "the Spirit of Truth" - John 14:17 and John 16:13.

There is a distinction AND a difference - GOD IS TRUTH, the devil is a lie, the father of lies and the personification of the false witness. He is a deceiver, a conniver, a swindler, a conman, a dupe, a wolf in sheep's clothing and his future wardrobe will be flaming hot.

The debate over something called Evolution has been going on since former seminary student Charles Darwin concocted the theory, in his 1859 book "Origin of the Species". Darwin's close friend, Lady Hope, tried to cover for him at his death by spreading an unlikely story that he was converted on his death bed to Jesus Christ, but his family denied he recanted and believed God. That being said, what Darwin did through his false thesis was unleash a Pandora's box of evil which typified the descent of man into degradation, during the 20th Century.

The abortionist Margaret Sanger (founder of the misnamed Planned Parenthood); Adolph Hitler and even the Columbine (Colorado) killers of the 1990's were all believer's in Darwin's theory of natural selection, evolution and all that comes with any of this! Another false theory and witness to the Truth of Creation is not just the Big Bang (where you and I and everything around us came out nothing and then - voila - we were all something!), but the Piltdown man!

The Piltdown Man is one of the longest run false testimonies ever about the origins of man. The Word clearly states that it was God Who made man in His own image. In the same way, a man named Charles Dawson created his own false mechanism. The fraud which last for more than 40 years - the longest running "scientific" falsehood in history - began when Dawson said he was "given" the remains of a "being" found in the quarry at Pilton, Sussex County in India. These remains of the secular "being" confirmed to some that here indeed was the "missing link".

For four decades - lies after lies after lies abounded in the scientific/academic community.  All kinds of study and illogical reasoning were imputed to this so called Piltdown Man. That is, until the quiet investigation of this led to a big exposure in 1953 in TIME magazine. The Piltdown man was the Hoax of the Century! For four decades, the world's academic community thought their "missing link" of the bridge between apes and humans had been found. IT TURNED OUT TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN A WELL CRAFTED, DECEPTIVELY FILED AND STAINED PARTS OF A FULL DEVELOPED 600 year old HUMAN SKULL AND A JAWBONE OF AN ORANGUTAN!!! It was carefully crafted to deceive....to be a false witness to the lie of evolution, against the Truth of Creation.

This was NOT a harmless hoax. This fraud/false witness was used by Clarence Darrow in court as evidence of the "Missing Link" in the Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925. It was used by racists and others to further segregate the races with their concocted theories.  It was used by secularists to dispute the Bible. IT WAS A BLATANT FRAUD. 

The Truth found in Scripture speaks to this deception and the multitude of others, in these last days:


Listen to the word of the LORD, O sons of Israel, for the LORD has a case against the inhabitants of the land, because there is no faithfulness or kindness or knowledge of God in the land. There is swearing, deception, murder, stealing and adultery. They employ violence, so that bloodshed follows bloodshed (Hosea 4:1-2).

You destroy those who speak falsehood; the Lord abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit (Psalm 5:6).

A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who tells lies will perish (Prov. 19:9).
But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death (Revelation 21:8).

God WILL not let sin go unpunished, whether it is the "Piltdown Man" or not. The damage caused the lie of the Piltdown "man" is unimaginable, as this damage is ongoing now for over 100 years. This too is an abomination unto the Lord....as much as any politician lie or someone preaching heresy.
